I am an Associate Professor at the Department of Economics and Business Economics, Aarhus University, Deputy Director of CIBP (Center for Integrative Business Psychology), and a Fellow at TrygFondens Centre for Child Research.

My research is within the fields of Applied behavioral economics, Experimental economics, and Public economics with a special focus on nudging interventions in public economics and public policy. In 2018, I received the Tietgen Award for my research on Nudging, in 2020 I gave a keynote talk on my research on Nudging at the Biannual meeting of the Danish Economic Society and in 2021 I organized a Nudging Themeday for researchers and practitioners at CIBP.

From the summer 2022, I will head a research project on Behavioural sources and mediators of health inequality funded by the Independent Reseach fund Denmark. We are currently hiring a PhD student for the project (application deadline Feburary 3, 2022). Please contract me if you are interested.

I obtained my PhD in Economics in 2016 from Aarhus University and I was a Visiting Scholar at University of California, Berkeley, for most of the academic year 2014/2015. I have previously obtained BSc and MSc degrees in Economics from Aarhus University and worked at the economics consultancy firm London Economics for a number of years.

My research has featured in e.g.

• DR Viden March 2017,

• Science News March 2017,

• Aarhus Panorama February 2016,

• Chronicle of Philantrophy May 2016.

In a podcast I provide my view on Nudging. You can listen to the podcast (in Danish) here.
